The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Lin Ze was clearly a regular customer; as soon as he entered, he asked the waiter for a private room, but he still had to go to the window to order.

"Hey girl, what would you like to eat? I'll take you to order!"

Xin Yi was a little embarrassed, "Brother Lin, you can decide for me, I can eat anything!"

Just as Lin Ze was about to offer some advice, Feng Yi stood up abruptly and said coldly, "I'll go order!"

After saying that, he walked out, leaving Lin Ze and Meng Tang looking on incredulously.

Xin Yi noticed their expressions and asked curiously, "What's going on? Doesn't Brother Feng usually order food?"

Meng Tang explained, "It's not that I don't order food, it's that I never care what I eat, I just eat whatever's available!"

After saying that, she looked at Xin Yi with a motherly smile.

Lin Ze was sometimes puzzled, sometimes enlightened, as if he understood, yet also as if he didn't.

"Yiyi, how old are you now?"

Xin Yi rolled her eyes inwardly. Who asks a girl's age on the second date? If this were in her past life, she would have given him a good dressing down. But she still sweetly replied, "17. I'll be 18 in two months!"

"17?"

Meng Tang exclaimed in surprise, "Sorry, I didn't expect the girl to be so young. I'm already 24, and Boss Feng is already 25!"

“I’m 25 too!” Lin Ze added.

Meng Tang rolled her eyes at Lin Ze, thinking how clueless he was, and continued, "Shouldn't you be in high school at your age?"

Xin Yi didn't care, since these weren't secrets anyway, and honestly replied, "I started school early and have already graduated from high school!"

"Oh, I heard from Boss Feng that you're from Chongqing? What brings you here to work in the countryside?"

Xin Yi sighed, "Well, that's a long story!"

"Tell me about it, I'll help you analyze it!"

Lin Ze chimed in, "Feng Yi isn't back yet, let's just chat!"

"It's nothing serious. My stepmother's niece, in order to avoid going to the countryside, hired human traffickers to sell me to some remote mountain forest. Brother Feng happened to rescue me, but my parents were tricked into signing me up for the rural assignment!"

Meng Tang looked indignant. "There are such vicious people? Why didn't you report it to the police? Make her pay for her actions!"

“My stepmother is very good to me, and she is also the only descendant of her stepmother’s family. I don’t want to make my stepmother sad. However, I also signed her up to go to the countryside!”

"Good job!"

Meng and Tang couldn't help but clap and cheer.

"I exposed her true colors to my family, and none of us accepted her anymore. She's now working as an educated youth in the same place as me, and she's caused a few troubles, but I taught her a lesson a few times, so she probably won't dare to mess with me again!"

"You're so capable, you can pierce a person's palm with a nail you throw at will, how could you have been kidnapped by human traffickers?"

Hearing this, Xin Yi couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Could she say that she had transmigrated after being abducted?

"I was too trusting back then, how could I have known they were using drugs? I've learned my lesson, and now I'm not so easily fooled!"

"Yes, yes, you're the heroine who took down the enemy spy..."

Meng Tang was about to continue when he saw Feng Yi walk in with a serious expression, and immediately stopped talking.

Lin Ze grabbed Feng Yi and said, "Brother, what did you order? Don't empty my pockets!"

Feng Yi pushed Lin Ze aside and sat up straight. "I ordered the food today, so I'll pay!"

After speaking, he glanced at Xin Yi, his eyes filled with concern.

"Brother, you're a true friend!"

Meng Tang just smiled and remained silent, becoming even more certain of his guess.

The dishes started to be served soon. The first dish was stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers; the second dish was braised chicken with mushrooms; the third dish was spicy boiled pork slices; and the fourth dish was Mapo tofu, along with a large plate of white rice.

The first two dishes are specialties of Heicheng, which everyone can understand. But aren't the last two dishes specialties of Chongqing?

Meng Tang leaned close to Feng Yi's ear and whispered, "The old bull wants to eat tender grass!"

After hearing this, Feng Yi remained silent, but his ears turned noticeably red.

Only the oblivious Lin Ze was still wondering, "Don't we usually order steamed buns or noodles? Why are we having rice today?"

"Shouldn't you like to change things up? It's good enough to have something to eat, especially since you're a police officer!" Meng Tang chimed in, offering his help with exceptional righteousness.

Without batting an eye, Feng Yi took a bowl, filled it to the brim with rice, and handed it to Xin Yi.

"Never mind them, let's eat first and see if it suits your taste!"

Xin Yi tasted each dish. "Mmm, delicious, but not spicy enough!"

"It's okay, we'll try a different dish next time!"

Feng Yi's gentleness left the two of them speechless.

Meng Tang picked up the bowl and started serving himself rice, muttering, "Sigh, I'd better do it myself, there's no one to help me serve rice!"

Lin Ze handed over an empty bowl at an inopportune moment, "Get me a bowl!"

"Self-reliance leads to abundance!"

As she spoke, she pushed a large bowl of rice in front of Lin Ze. Lin Ze wasn't angry; he served himself.

Everyone ate their fill. The portions at Black City were quite large, but it couldn't satisfy the appetites of three grown men. They even used the broth to mix with their rice.

The four returned to their room on the second floor of the Public Security Bureau. Feng Yi took out a notebook and said, "Xin Yi, this is the confession of that enemy agent. Take a look and see if there are any problems!"

Lin Ze wanted to say that this was against the rules, but Meng Tang noticed his movement in time and covered his mouth.

Xin Yi picked up the notebook and began to read it carefully. The blatant words "seduction" on it made Xin Yi very embarrassed.

"This...this seduction is a bit inappropriate, isn't it? I was just pretending to be a widow who was sold to the mountains by her in-laws and ran away. I absolutely did not seduce him. At most, I made him believe that I was determined to die!"

“Yes, this is inappropriate, cross it out!” Feng Yi agreed.

Xin Yi continued reading, "They say I know sorcery? That I can't exert any strength when I touch him? Isn't that feudal thinking? I just know acupoints and how to paralyze someone's entire body!"

"Yes, this one isn't suitable either, cross it out!"

Meng and Tang could no longer bear to watch, so they sat down on the benches to rest.

Lin Ze was really asleep. He hadn't slept well since he had delivered enemy agents to the county overnight, and soon he started snoring.

Meng Tang, on the other hand, was feigning sleep, but kept glancing at Feng Yi and Xin Yi's interactions, secretly thrilled.

"Xinyi, how about we change rooms? Lin Ze's snoring is too loud and it's disturbing you!"

Before Xin Yi could answer, Meng Tang couldn't stand it anymore. How could she not be allowed to enjoy the sweet moments? She kicked Lin Ze's chair.

Lin Ze suddenly snapped out of his daze. "What's wrong? What happened?"

This reaction was truly unbearable to watch. Meng Tang said irritably, "Sit still and don't disturb Yi Yi's important business!"

"Oh, okay, okay."
